On the 24th - 25th of May 2024 the Competition Law Research Centre at Pázmány Péter Catholic University (Budapest) organized an event on European Union law, sports and competition law. This prestigious event brought together leading experts to discuss critical issues in competition law and its intersection with sports. The insightful presentations from distinguished judges and academics provided a comprehensive overview of recent case law and the expanding competencies of the EU Courts. The panels on state aid cases, the organization of professional sport events, and regulated competition in digital markets were particularly enlightening.

A highlight of the conference was the interactive discussions and the opportunity to network with peers and industry leaders. The event's organization was impeccable, and the social activities, including the badminton competition, fostered camaraderie and a spirit of collaboration. Special thanks to the sponsors [Dentons (Golden Sponsor) and Backer&McKenzie (Silver Sponsor)] and organizers for creating a platform that not only advanced our understanding of EU competition law but also celebrated the community's shared passion for sports. This conference was a testament to the importance of interdisciplinary dialogue in shaping the future of competition law in Europe.
